Hey everyone, I have some bad news. We are going to end up about $20k short of the minimum we needed to run this break. We are at $46k and there is just no way we are making that up, you know?

It is my fault. I shouldn't have mixed in the Breaker's Delight cases honestly, but here is the thing - even if we take out all 10 Breaker's Delight cases out of the break and leave every bid intact, we still wouldn't break even.

I am really sorry. We haven't had to cancel an auction for not making the minimum in a long time, but we just couldn't afford to run this one without at least coming close to the minimum we set - and we are nowhere close.

We can still run Topps Chrome breaks on release morning, but we can't do this one unfortunately.

Thanks for trying and all your hard work, Houds!

Let's do some random team cases!

houdini · 07-15-2024, 10:11 PM

Sorry to waste everyone's time.

Cyris · 07-15-2024, 10:16 PM

Well I guess I’ll save some money then lol. Sorry it didn’t work out

Kodiaksr7 · 07-15-2024, 10:20 PM

Understand… and my wallet is happier!

Bryan Collects · 07-15-2024, 10:20 PM

Damn. There went my one chance at a hobby box! Haha

davidfletcher · 07-15-2024, 10:21 PM

Was really looking forward to this - but totally understand. Not your fault.

Prox3 · 07-15-2024, 10:23 PM

Appreciate the effort. Looking forward to the breaks though.

All good, thanks for trying Houdini, JB, and crew!

Pricing anymore is just ridiculous and crazy, blasters are going to be $40, which is just stupid crazy. Pricing is going to catch up with Fanatics.

Thanks for trying, I was looking forward to hitting some Noelvi autos.

Yeah it seems like the prices of wax blew up when the hobby did during Covid but after card prices levelled off the prices of wax haven’t adjusted with it.

I don’t know if they ever will to be honest, production is through the roof and so is pricing. And man I was looking forward to this. Had Noelvi on a steal of a deal!!!

Bundybear · 07-15-2024, 11:09 PM

That’s why the break didn’t go ahead lol. Too many steals.

Yeah I was looking forward to this one too. It’s going to sting when we see what would have been our spots hit in the randoms.
But it is what it is. Personally I blame JB.

Not on you, Houds.

It's on Fanatics for charging way too much.

DaryanLenz · 07-15-2024, 11:54 PM

It’s really not on anyone other than Houdini. Part of being a breaker is assuming the risk of an undersell when running these, and I love Houd’s as much as anyone but I know of breakers who take baths all the time on certain breaks and that’s part of the reality of breaking. Disagree all you want, it’s totally ok with me, but the whole point of running a business is assuming the risk that comes with that business and doing the honorable thing when you miscalculate a business opportunity.
